Pecullarities of ERP implementation projects under the agility conditions and modelling the support of their implementation

Abstract

In the dynamic society of today enterprise has to be smart and agile. IT and business alignment has become of the strategic importance and the enterprise is forced to be able to perform well under the abundance of information and hyper competition conditions. The information has become a strategic corporate resource and encourages business to invest in ERP projects as ERP systems can integrate all the business processes and help to improve the effectiveness of them. ERP implementation projects are characterized by complexity, variety of processes and managerial decisions which in most of the cases tend to be irrational because of weak participation in the implementation, imperfect existing ERP implementation models, lack of experience and knowledge how to implement them correctly. Thus, advanced model development to support ERP implementation process is needed. To achieve this purpose worldwide insight on this issue should be made, practical value of existing ERP implementation models should be evaluated and demand for ERP implementation support should be assessed.
